My "Trumpet History"

I am currently the Undergraduate Principal trumpet player at Adelphi University. I have been playing trumpet since the 4th grade and I have loved the instrument ever since. Throughout the years I have become a very knowledgeable and skilled player.

While I was a senior in high school I auditioned for The Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam, hoping to be accepted into the Music Education program. While I was accepted to SUNY Potsdam, unfortunately I did not make it into the music school. My choices became C.W. Post and Adelphi.

I chose to come to Adelphi to play trumpet for a few reasons. First and foremost, my trumpet teacher, Patrick Dougherty, is an adjunct trumpet professor at Adelphi. Secondly, my mother is an Adelphi alumni. Thirdly, Adelphi is close enough for me to commute to school and get a great education.

While studying trumpet at Adelphi I've had the opportunity to perform with many professional musicians and I've made great friends. I look forward to continuing to learn from my professors and to grow as a musician. I also can't wait to get inside the new Performing Arts Center!

Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures of me playing trumpet from when I was younger, but I do have some pictures!
